Christmas Eve Eve Eve

Dani, Me and Tia-Sister's! I really am the middle child.

On the Saturday before Christmas I went up to my mom's house to spend some time with my sisters. The younger one is in town from San Francisco and we don't get to see her as often so it was so much fun getting to hang out with her and all of us together. My mother in law was supposed to come with me but she missed her Thursday night flight. She waited for 9 hours, the next flight was overbooked and she couldn't get another one until Monday! Traveling on the holidays is no joke. We spent the day at my mom's house then we went out to dinner at Claim Jumper. My younger sister Tia got one of the biggest burgers I've ever seen. She couldn't even eat it all. Dani and I just got salad's. We had to save room for dessert.

Trifle and many, many more desserts to choose from

Right after that we headed to my mom's friends house where we had a dessert party. I'm not sure if that was the best idea considering we've all been bombarded with sweets every which way for weeks but because its such a busy time we wanted something simple. She has two girls of her own and it's very rare for all of us to be in one place at the same time. There were soooo many desserts I couldn't even try them all. We had a really fun time chatting and hanging out before we went back to my parents house. It got really late really fast and the next thing I knew we were all tired and it was time for me to hit the road for home.

I had a great day with my family and was happy that we'd get to be together again on Christmas Day.

looks like a great time. you would think that due to the amount of dessert i've consumed in the last several weeks i wouldn't want the dessert you posted here. nope, i still want it. i need to detox and badly!

A dessert party!? Why wasn't I invited?? Haha that sounds awesome! I need to have one of those! You and your sisters are so pretty! I can't believe your mother in law had so much trouble with her flight, poor thing!
